am running Windows Server 2012 R2 and SCCM 2012 R2 (v5.0.7958.1000) and am trying to deploy updates to a Windows 8.1 client but am not having any joy, I keep getting errors within the WindowsUpdate.log.

Here is a copy of my execmgr file that shows the installation as successful... http://1drv.ms/1x0vZnm

Hi All, So I am running SCCM 2012 R2 and have a task sequence set up to deploy Windows 8.1 which is successfully and then as part of the task sequence I install a bunch of basic apps, I have one app "CutePDF Writer" that installs successfully but the task sequence bombs out and reports as failed but when the machine boots the OS and apps are all installed correctly. If I manually run the script to install the software it works fine on the desktop. I am using the latest version of the app and using "cutewriter.exe /verysilent /no3d" to install the package. Does anyone have ideas as to what could be the root cause?
